Re: Survey: What are you using MadWifi for, and why?

Mike, thanks for putting forward the effort to gather this input! I think 
you already know our feelings on this, but for the record my comments are 
inline below:


> 1. What are you using MadWifi for?

We have over 2000 shipped instances of madwifi running in unattended 
embedded x86 devices (Qcode, Qnode, MeshCam) in use at rural ISPs to provide 
internet connectivity services, and at various outdoor industrial and 
commercial facilities for backhaul of IP CCTV for surveillance purposes. 
Also several mixed networks doing ISP & CCTV, plus handheld scanners, voip, 
etc.

> 2. Did you already evaluate ath5k/ath9k? If no, why not?

No, because (a) it's too bleeding-edge for use in unattended devices (b) 
it's missing critical modes/features we need for our applications, and (c) 
it won't compile or run under a 2.4 kernel.

> 3. In case you evaluated ath5k/ath9k but did not yet switch: what is the
> reason for your decision, and what is required before you could switch?

n/a but see (2) above.
